Compare two meeting summaries
Compare two meeting summaries
A steering group decided: launch postponed to Q2, the March beta stays limited to existing testers, and the budget gets reviewed in April — with everything conditional on the security review passing first. You asked for a short summary for a colleague who missed the meeting.
Work through the rubric for both summaries, then pick the one you would send.
Output A
The steering group postponed the launch to Q2. The March beta continues as planned. The budget will be reviewed in April.
Output B
Launch moves to Q2. The March beta stays limited to existing testers. April brings the budget review — and all of it depends on the security review passing first.
Rubric — answer each question for both outputs before deciding
- Does it carry the decisions that were actually made?
- Are the restriction and the condition preserved — the tester limit and the security review?
- Does it avoid turning conditional items into settled facts?
Hint
What would the colleague do differently after reading each version?
Which version mentions the security review — and who needs to know about it?
Why this is the answer
A passes on tone and fails on load-bearing facts: the tester restriction disappeared and the condition became a schedule. B is one sentence longer and carries every element a decision depends on — restriction, date and condition — which is exactly what compression without damage means.
